    Had a boyfriend with a yellow one years ago. but it had a hard top. Frankly did not like driving it, it's hard to see out the windows. And have to be careful where you park it.

    I was at the Staveley classic car show a couple of weeks ago and there was some American muscle cars on show.

        @gks, They often end up looking like the next to last picture when you park in certain areas around here.:biggrin:

            @pete that spoiler is factory/original. And it is probably one of only 80. Rare !

              Yeah, maybe but a bit much, it would be enough to put me off the whole car, it ruins the lines.
              But I know times change, but some cars just still have the "look" others just need an angle grinder.:biggrin:

                  I think if I was rich enough it would be an Aston Martin, dont ask which model, I dont know, but I've seen a few gliding down the roads around here, but they have a nice grunt when pushed.

                  Good choice! Aston Martins always turn a head and as you say, sound good too. I don't aim quite so high and have always wanted a Saab convertible.

                    I think the spoiler is fine ... not so keen on the 7 miles per gallon though!

                    I was sensible and drove a Pinto Hatchback ...

                    ... and J had a VW Kübelwagen ...

                    There's one of the Mimosas.

                      Well yes always depends on how much you have to spend that was my ultimate, price no object.
